      Most of the people who are forced to shop at Dollar Tree are the ones most negatively impacted by Republican policies. It’s pretty fucked up.

        Agree. When the store opened here in town I saw a 1 grade point average fall for both kids I was taking care of. All the junk food they could get their hands on. Sugar, salt, fat. Not very many good choices for humans.

            They said “taking care of” maybe they are like a babysitter or nanny or something?

      … Fuck.

      I used to like dollar tree.

      Well. They’re dead to me now.

      Of course, I’m lucky enough that I can afford to shop elsewhere; it’s the duty of all those who are capable to abstain for the sake of those who cannot.

        I won’t tell you about their rat problems then.

        Edit: My last post got -7 downvotes for agreeing with what was being said. Going to start a thing where I block communities where I get lots of downvotes for stupid reasons. I thought this wasn’t Reddit. Yikes. Be better.
